You must gather your party before venturing forth
Brož, Štěpán ; Novotný,, Michal (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
As my diploma thesis I created a series of expresive figurative paintings. The series tells fragments of stories from romantic fantazy sceneries combined with contemporary subcultural and life style motives. My inspiration comes from a strong game play experience and a deep emotional bond with the central european landscape. The story is situated somewhere between a fairy talish past and a dystopic future.
